Plus what label should I have - should I be bipolar with psychotic features or schizoaffective?

*Willow*
Based on genetic work that came out this year there is some evidence that bipolar, schizoaffective and schizophrenia are all part of a spectrum so I don't put too much stock in the labels that separate them. Hanging out on the bipolar forum here a lot of people have had psychosis and a lot of it is bad not just fluffy happy stuff. I know I have sleep disturbances and hypomania but my pdoc just says I'm psychotic not SA. Anyway I try not to worry about the DSM, or even what my pdoc labels it as, its all the same medicine anyway.
